Live Painting of The Secret Room by Hugh D’Andrade

San Francisco artist and EFF designer Hugh D’Andrade was recently invited to do a live painting of a mural at the Mission Cultural Center. The subject of the mural was “The Secret Room” where the NSA conducted warrantless wiretapping at AT&T’s Folsom Street facility, resulting in EFF suing AT&T.

EFF’s Chris Contolini and Richard Esguerra made a timelapse video of Huge painting the mural, featuring the song “Master of Skandal” by Skandalo Publico.

See Hugh’s write-up on the mural for more background on “The Secret Room”.
